Carnival Lodge on Rt 42, Backboard in Kiamesha Lake, New York

by John Margolies

Captured by acclaimed architectural photographer John Margolies, this art print showcases the retro appeal of the sign board at Carnival Lodge on Rt 42 in Kiamesha Lake, New York. Depicting hand-lettered signs proclaiming "Indoor Pool" and an iconic orange and white striped façade advertising "a haven for CHILDREN," this print reflects the past glory of Borscht Belt resort life from the "golden years" of Catskills' culture.

An architect who committed himself to capturing the unique architectural vernacular of mid-century America as well as roadside pop culture, Margolies' vast collection is kept at the Library of Congress. Printed in full colors and clear detail, this unique art print will add some real 20th century Americana and motels to any wall in the Upstate New York area.
